You're not a great player?! Well you're much better than I am. And how did you kill those scions so fast? Was that shockwave? Maybe I'll have to go vanguard again if it can do that sort of damage.

Sarah - just lots of practice you will kick butt. I was using stasis - kronner posted a video doing that trick - any class can use it - makes the trap order of magnitude easier, IMO.

Ryoldshool was using Stasis on the Scions. Also, between Thane's warp and Sniper rifle, Miranda's warp, and Shepard's Claymore, pistol, and Locust SMG, you can take out Scions very quickly.

Videos can highlight good gameplay, but videos do not always show the number of times you died while making the video.

^ amen, LOL. I still think that, without stasis, that platform part is the hardest part of the game.

my experience:
you do a few runs and the last one goes exceedingly well.
you think, "ok, that's good"
open FRAPS
restart mission.....

. .. wtf!
....DIE!

@Sarah,

i'm doing infiltrator now so i have no clue what it feels like in that mission. And i can't recall how it was in the other classes besides vanguard. Think Adept was pretty good , you can throw singularity at harbinger and stall him repeatedly.

Xassantex, I did this mission a few months back on hardcore with an infiltrator and found the platforms to be very hard. I died 4 times before nailing it but then the rest of the mission was easy. The praetorian fight was easy enough and of my own powers I mainly used incinerate, cloak and the viper to take it out, switching to the particle beam when I got down to 50% sniper ammo. Now when I did the platforms bit with my soldier I didn't die once. That was again on hardcore and I played the mission 3 times so I could try out each bonus weapon. But I guess I found it easier due to the extra health that the soldier has plus adreneline rush.

Guys, my trick was to take out the first scion as fast as possible because removing that threat makes the rest of the fight ten times easier IMO. I hit it with Miranda's warp, hit Adreneline rush and unleashed the viper at it it even whilst the platform was still moving. That weapon is pretty good at messing up scions and I am quite good at dodging their rolling shock attacks. When the second scion appears it isn't too bad because you no longer have the first one to contend with and you can keep it in line of sight and dodge its attacks whilst handling harbinger and his mates. But unlike you advanced players I don't rush in close but stay well back and pick them off methodically. It's not a pretty playstyle but it seems to work quite well. Having said that, I really do want to get to your level and get in amongst them close and personal.
